THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Therapeutic relaxation massage that includes using gliding strokes, kneading, and compression of soft tissue can offer many benefits that include increased circulation; the reduction of stress, pain, and anxiety; improved digestion and immune system function; and a sense of overall wellbeing.
Therapeutic massage therapy is a type of massage that is designed to promote healing and relaxation in the body. It uses various massage techniques to target specific areas of pain or tension and to promote overall wellness.
The goal of therapeutic massage therapy is to relieve chronic pain, tension, and stress by manipulating the body's soft tissues. This can include muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
Therapeutic massage therapy can include a range of techniques, such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and others. The specific techniques used will depend on the needs of the individual client.
During a therapeutic massage session, the therapist will work with the client to identify areas of tension and pain and develop a treatment plan to address those areas. The therapist may use their hands, fingers, forearms, elbows, or other tools to work on the soft tissues. The pressure may be light or deep, depending on the client's needs.
Clients should communicate their needs and preferences to the therapist and let them know if the pressure is too intense or uncomfortable at any time during the session.
